How to maintain?

[Evenkeel 5]

Almost 9 months post-op and I'm well below goal weight. I continue to lose 1-2 pounds a week and am right on the edge of underweight. I saw my surgeon on Friday and he said that as long as I feel okay and he doesn't think I'm anorexic then I just need to "stop losing weight" and everything will be okay. See you in July. *sigh*

I'm tired of being told I'm too skinny, that I need to eat, that I need to stop losing weight. Believe me, I'm trying. At this point, if I gained 10 pounds I would be happy. My capacity is okay but dumping is an issue with fats and sugars. Insurance won't pay for acarbose. I pack in as much Protein and good fats as I can every day but I can still only hit 750-ish calories daily on average. If I eat more animal protein then I can't take in as many calories that day because I just don't digest fast enough, even with drinking lots of fluids between meals to "coax" it through. Protein shakes are an absolute no-go. I have to take in some carbs or I have issues with hypoglycemia. If it were possible to eat nothing but bacon and ice cream to just maintain then I'd do it. I also just got a job on my feet and am supposed to exercise to help protect my muscle but that means even more calories burned to compensate for. Help!

Bagels with butter, cheese biscuits lotsa carbs. I can't eat much Protein but I drink Protein  shakes and eat Protein Bars to get my requirements. Have a carb every 2 - 3 hours graze during the day don't worry having 3 meals. Have about 6 meals instead and have carbs and fat....yogurts is good and dark chocolate and get Protein from shakes and bars.
